Chapter 56: The Moody Mentor
He had just been focusing on Thor's potion, but suddenly he noticed that something seemed to be wrong with Thor's left hand.
Thor raised his left hand and rolled up his sleeve to his elbow, revealing his left hand which had turned dark gray and the front of his forearm which was stained light gray.
Kaz hugged Thor's left hand and silently uttered a string of spells. Then, Kaz's eyes burst into a strong light.
The bright light was fleeting.
Thor, however, felt uneasy as if he had been stripped and seen through.
"Dead human bones, cardamom, sulfide liquid, and some strange materials..."
Kaz slowly put down Thor's left hand, and when he looked at him again, there was an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
"You were able to come up with a completely new wizard body transformation plan tailored to your situation." In addition to admiration, there was also a hint of panic in Kaz's tone, "How dare you do this? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Thor had already thought of the answer.
"I'm afraid, but I don't have any other way to get my magic power to 10 joules before the test." Thor lowered his head and looked at his left hand with a heavy expression. "I thought, since my left hand is like this anyway, even if it fails, the worst that can happen is that I can just give up the whole hand."
Kaz snorted coldly at first, "Humph, you think you can be safe just by cutting off your left hand after you fail?"
Then he wondered, "Why does the magic power need to be 10 joules?"
Without waiting for Thor's speechless reply.
Kaz suddenly remembered the test request he casually proposed when he looked down on Thor.
"Ahem," he couldn't say that he had forgotten about it, so he could only make amends, "Even if your magic power doesn't reach 10 joules by then, as long as I can see your efforts and progress, I can still make a break for you."
Kaz brushed aside this life-threatening matter and turned to ask Thor, "What capabilities does your arm have now? Have you tested it?"
Thor withdrew his hand, unable to tell whether he was happy or disappointed.
"Through the initial transformation, my magic power has increased a lot, and now it has stabilized at 13 joules. At the same time, my mental strength has also increased slightly. In addition, my left hand can resist ordinary damage and a certain degree of witchcraft damage. To what extent... I didn't dare to try more."
Kaz listened to Thor's calm description, touched his chin, and secretly glanced into Thor's eyes.
He felt that this young apprentice was still too inexperienced and obviously did not understand the value of his wizard body transformation plan to other apprentices.
No, he couldn't let this guy get away with it.
"But there should be a very big problem with your plan." Kaz walked around Thor, "The huge amount of magic power suddenly gained from the transformation may directly crush your spiritual body, putting you on the verge of cognitive collapse. It is difficult for a first-level apprentice to compete with it. He will either explode, go crazy, or..."
Kaz stopped behind Thor and his voice suddenly turned cold, like the deep sea in the dark night of winter.
The temperature in the morgue also dropped suddenly.
Thor opened his mouth and the water vapor he exhaled condensed into white frost.
He felt like he was freezing to death.
The air solidified, and the oxygen breathed into the lungs seemed to have turned into ice.
Kaz slowly reached out and placed his hand on Thor's head.
"...Or to put it another way, are you still Thor?"
A real murderous intent was transmitted from the top of the head to the brain, as if he could already see the scythe of the god of death behind him.
If you answer a little slower, your head and body will be separated!
Thor opened his mouth and tried his best to squeeze out a sound, and the taste of rust immediately overflowed from his mouth.
"yes!"
Kaz's hand retracted.
The temperature starts to rise.
All the discomfort around Thor disappeared, and there was no blood in his mouth.
It was as if everything that just happened was just an illusion.
"That's good." Kaz turned back to Thor.
Everything that had just frightened Thor was actually just a verification spell he cast.
"Your spirit body is not in an abnormal state of disorder. It seems that you are indeed lucky and survived the collapse of your spirit body. However, luck cannot always favor you. Next time you perform this kind of transformation, don't experiment on yourself."
"Yes, mentor." Thor lowered his eyes.
He also thought that Mentor Kaz would pay for his transformation plan, or exchange it with teaching or threats.
But unexpectedly, Katz didn't seem very interested. He saw most of his experimental materials at a glance and pointed out the biggest flaw of this plan.
It seems that the wizard body transformation used by an apprentice of his level can only alarm a second-level apprentice like Byron, and it is not worth snatching in the eyes of formal wizards.
That's fine.
Thor felt relieved. "This way I don't have to worry too much about the instructors forcing me to submit a transformation plan."
"Teacher Kaz," Thor looked up again. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable because of what happened just now, he still had to take the opportunity to ask. Who knows when Kaz will appear next time will be in a few days.
"I saw in the rulebook that one must be at least a Level 2 apprentice to apply for live experiments. Do you think I can apply in advance now?"
Kaz nodded. "You are indeed talented in this area. It is a hindrance to restrict you with rigid rules. It seems that you have put a lot of effort into the "Corpse Refining Guide". In this case..."
Kaz's voice suddenly stopped, and there was no further sound for more than ten seconds.
Thor couldn't help but look up, and saw that Kaz's mouth was half open, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
"Mentor?" Thor asked carefully, shifting his focus and preparing to retreat.
He was afraid that Kaz would explode too.
"Ah!" Kaz suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes widened with a fierce look, "Living experiment? Haha, have you read the "Corpse Creation Guide" carefully? Did I give you that book just to let you hang around the dead?"
The instructor, who had just looked satisfied, suddenly turned hostile.
Does everyone here have schizophrenia?
Thor quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. He didn't dare to refute and could only complain in his heart.
"They say it's made from corpses. If they don't hang around dead people, are they playing with living people?"
"You've been in the morgue for such a long time, and you've seen so many contaminated dead bodies and so many alienated materials. Is this the only thing you can think of?"
Kaz's saliva was flying everywhere and his fingers were tapping on the long table.
Thor frowned a little and looked at Kaz in confusion.
Didn't he come to the morgue just to take over this job that no one was currently qualified for? Could the teacher have some other intention?
Seeing that Thor still didn't understand, Kaz scolded him angrily, "Idiot, how did I praise you in the beginning? You didn't take it seriously at all. What kind of talent do you have? Soul talent, soul talent!"
Kaz scolded Thor, accusing him of not doing his job and wasting his talent, and finally slammed the door and left angrily.
Thor was left alone, completely confused.
What does it mean to be not doing your job properly?
"I submitted all my materials on time. Although I secretly hid a lot of them, the amount I submitted definitely reached the passing line. Why are you not doing your job properly?"
What is a waste of talent?
"Didn't my mentor tell me that I'm very talented in detecting alienation and pollution? How did I waste my talent?"
Soul talent?
"The teacher praised me for my high soul talent, but then he said that my dark attribute perception is low. Having such a high soul talent simply increases the chance of seeing ghosts. Does he think I haven't seen enough ghosts?"
Because Kaz changed his expression several times, Thor originally wanted to ask him about the reason why level 0 witchcraft has different effects on ordinary people and wizard apprentices, but later he forgot everything.
He no longer had the interest to continue the experiment. He could only sit on the bench in a daze, thinking about the deeper meaning of Kaz's words in confusion.
He sat there motionless until the candle on the transport platform flickered on, reminding him that it was time to work.
